 During last night's Rangers/Yankees affair, a young Rangers fan broke out into tears after not getting a baseball tossed into the crowd by Texas first baseman, Mitch Moreland.
After Moreland threw the ball into the stands, a couple sitting next to the kid got the ball and proceeded to get scolded by Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay for not giving him the ball:

Moreland comes alive for the first time
ARLINGTON, Texas One sure way to keep from hitting the ball right at people is to hit it over the fence. That's the tactic the Rangers first baseman Mitch Moreland took Wednesday night to break out of a slump.
Moreland sent a blast 410 feet over the right field wall in the sixth inning of a 7-3 win over the Yankees. The homer was his second hit of the night to break out of...

Yesterday, we had a pretty great discussion about the young Texas Rangers fan who cried when Mitch Moreland tossed a ball into the stands and it was caught by a couple that spent the next 10 minutes taking photos of each other with that ball. Now we actually have a couple updates to that story – of which the moral was kids need to learn early that nobody likes a crybaby – that...

Feliz started Saturday in Game 2 of a doubleheader in Detroit and will be available in the bullpen for the next few games, including Wednesday's series finale against New York.

Texas dad: Not 'as bad as it looked'
The father of a little boy who broke down at a Texas Rangers game after not getting a foul ball said the couple who got the souvenir has been unfairly demonized.

The Texas Rangers are off to a tremendous start to the 2012 season, with a MLB-best 15-4 record. Names like Josh Hamilton, Ian Kinsler, Yu Darvish, and Matt Harrison have been stealing the spotlight, but perhaps we should all direct our attention to a lefty reliever by the name of Robbie Ross. The 22 year old made his MLB debut this season and has pitched in 6 games. NothingÂ...

When it comes to people I’m an optimist in that I believe that in their hearts most folks are good and decent people. Then something like this comes along and I realize that there are those among us that have zero class or decency and I go right back to questioning humanity.
A little overdramatic? Probably, but when you watch this video and see why this little guy is crying...

So I had the very fine pleasure of watching Yu Darvish turn a very good Yankee lineup, in a very good hitters' park, into absolute meek hamburger last night, as the Rangers beat the Yankees 2-0.Darvish went 8.1 innings, giving way only to the one double play pitch of Joe Nathan to finish things off, and never looked like he was doing anything difficult. And sure, it's April...

I’ve gotten spoiled by the Rangers. There haven’t been too many ugly games. Ugly innings, sure, but not ugly games. Tonight was an ugly game. Bad pitching, bad defense, bad baserunning, wasted offensive opportunities. This game had all of that.
Matt Harrison got off to a rough start. An error by Ian Kinsler in the 1st inning ended up costing three Rays runs. And Harrison...

I was really looking forward to Scott Feldman’s spot start tonight. The guy has a lot of haters, but I am not among them. I may be one of the only people who owns a Feldman shirsey. Sure, he’s not an ace, but he’s done some mighty fine pitching for the Rangers over the years (as well as some bad pitching … but oh well).  I am a Feldman fan. And I probably always...

April 24, 2012: Yu Darvish pitched 8 1/3 shutout innings, allowing seven hits and two walks while striking out 10 in leading the Texas Rangers to a 2-0 victory over the New York Yankees.
Line: 8.1 IP | 7 H | 0 ER | 2 BB | 10 K; W (3-0) | QS
My fantasy perspective: Fantasy baseball managers may have seen Darvish as a bit of a wildcard going into their drafts but he’s easily proving...

Each of these two teams is at the top of their division (the Rays are tied with Baltimore, which is shocking), while the Rangers one up the Rays by holding the best record in baseball at 15-4, and already have a +55 run differential. The Rangers look like the class of baseball right now, while the Rays....are actually struggling a little bit, but still taking advantage of a division...
